About netshoot
netshoot is a container image that bundles a large set of network troubleshooting tools, so you can diagnose connectivity problems without installing anything on the host or inside the containers you are debugging.
The usual pattern is to start netshoot with Docker and attach it to the network namespace of a running container, or to run it as a pod in Kubernetes. You then inspect traffic, DNS and routing from the same network view as the service you are debugging.
